The happiest group of people are the kids as they get to collect red packets aka ‘ang pow’ from parents, married couples, grandparents and seniors. Besides, they get to go shopping for Chinese New Year clothing as the chinese believe that wearing new clothing on a new year marks a new beginning!

Sometimes, it’s not always easy to go shopping for a unique birthday gift for someone senior in the home, is it?

Whenever it comes to buying a birthday gift for my mom, aunt, uncle or a senior friend, I would go shopping for hours and be back with nothing. It’s hard to buy clothing, just in case is not right for him or her. As usual, I prefer to shop for practical birthday gifts that are usable and of good quality. Some nice birthday gifts for seniors can include talking watches, daily living aids like mobility aids and even brain games!

Black is beautiful. Living in the age where whitening products become a significant product line in most beauty labels, it seems that women are seeking after fairer skin or should I say, a more even skin tone. Despite our belief “black is beautiful”, blotchy skin and pigmented marks are not welcomed by anyone of us.

I am not sure what Justin Timberlake is trying to pull here. I am used to people who kiss ass but I guess kissing people’s shoes or foot for that matter is an entirely different breed altogether. This is an alarming cause for concern!

Timberlake was the host at the American ESPY sports’ awards ceremony. Sitting in the front row was David Beckham and wife Victoria. “Justin joked that he wanted to find out what $250m worth of foot tasted like. He jumped off stage and proceeded to kiss David’s shoes. $250m is how much was paid to David for his transfer to LA Galaxy. Well, for publicity people are willing to do anything including a lesbian kiss on stage. How far would you go? David’s wife Victoria cringed at the scene before bursting out laughing. ESPY 2008 is an event to award sportsmen and women for their contribution in sports.

I had just returned from a short trip to Singapore. It wasn’t a shopping trip this time though it was hard not to enjoy a bit of retail therapy. Once again, I was overwhelmed by the many clothing boutiques in and out of Orchard road. Somehow, I wasn’t impressed by a lot of those China imported or Korean imported clothing. Perhaps it’s because I’ve passed that age. Over the years, I had made many wrong decisions in buying clothes I don’t need and splurged unnecessarily on clothing that were worn only once. Having said that, I like this local clothing store GG5. They stock a nice collection of ready to wear casual and working clothing that are stylish, modern, fairly affordable and fashionable. Their simple coordinates such as the casual jackets, tops, skirts and pants are the favourites among working executives and modern women.

It was hard to stop myself from visiting the All Dressed Up store last weekend since it was having a storewide discount of 30%. Not so long ago, I spotted a coral peach top that flattered my autumn-spring skintone. I didn’t buy it since I wasn’t sure if I was going to pay around $300 for a blouse, especially after doing my monthly budget with our new budgeting software. But since it was on sale in the store, I couldn’t resist trying it again.

Guess what? Instead of the coral peach top, I walked out of the shop with a muted gold wax linen skirt. I fell in love with the colour… it was just the right shade of gold and made a versatile piece of any occasion - dress it up or down - it’s all up to me

Even though online shopping has become a popular activity in this super internet technology age, there are still many who question about the security of making purchases online. From purchasing a $1 item to a $1,000 item, online shopping is convenient, fast, flexible and easy. In order to ensure a smooth online shopping experience, there are a few things you need to take note. These questions deal with the online retailer’s reputation, the security of the server and the return policy offered on the items.

Determining whether or not an online retailer is reputable should be the first step shoppers take before deciding whether or not to make a purchase online from a particular online retailer. This is important because shoppers are much more likely to be satisfied with purchases from a reputable merchant than a purchase made from an online retailer with a less than favorable reputation.
